Car semi-annual inspection deadline is small cars after 15 years require semi-annual inspections. For small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are required every 2 years within the first 6 years, annually after exceeding 6 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. Below is an introduction about vehicle inspections: 1. Introduction: It refers to the annual motor vehicle inspection. The vehicle inspection process is the fixed procedure for annual vehicle checks. 2. Regulations: If a vehicle is found by traffic police without annual inspection, the owner will be fined or the vehicle may be impounded. Meanwhile, in insurance contracts, vehicles that fail timely annual inspections are considered unqualified, and no claims will be paid in case of accidents. 3. Content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body and its accessories are clean, complete and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records.

Why does the old Mazda 6 use 5w40 engine oil?

Because 5w40 engine oil provides better protection for the engine. Here is relevant information about 5w40 engine oil: 1. In 5w40 engine oil, 'w' stands for winter, indicating it is suitable for winter use. The '5' before the 'w' represents the viscosity at low temperatures, with a smaller number indicating better fluidity and cold resistance. The '40' refers to the viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius, with a higher number indicating greater viscosity and better high-temperature resistance. 2. The functions of engine oil include: reducing friction and high temperatures; cooling and lowering temperature; cleaning; shock absorption; and preventing rust and corrosion. 3. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while the additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance.

What does it mean when a car dashboard displays a key icon?

A key icon displayed on the car dashboard indicates that the vehicle's anti-theft system has been triggered. When the anti-theft system light is on, the following phenomena should be noted: 1. If the anti-theft system light is on and the car fails to start, it means the vehicle cannot be activated. The anti-theft indicator light includes both the factory-installed anti-theft indicator and any aftermarket anti-theft system indicators. The anti-theft indicator has armed and disarmed states, and its flashing frequency varies between these two states. 2. It's important to note that if the engine anti-theft light flashes once every 1 to 2 seconds, this is normal. It indicates that the vehicle's engine has entered the anti-theft mode, and the engine immobilizer is functioning properly. This is a normal condition that doesn't require the owner to deactivate it. Moreover, the power consumption is negligible and poses no problem for the battery.

What is the difference between cars with 't' and cars without 't'?

The differences between cars with 't' and cars without 't' are: 1. Different engines: Cars with 't' are equipped with turbocharged or supercharged engines; cars without 't' are equipped with naturally aspirated engines. 2. Different power: Under the same displacement, cars with 't' are more powerful than cars without 't', approximately 40% stronger. 3. Different acceleration: Cars with 't' accelerate faster than cars without 't', but cars without 't' have smoother and more linear acceleration. 4. Different maintenance costs: The repair and maintenance costs for cars with 't' are much higher than those for cars without 't'. 5. Different fuel consumption: For long-distance driving, cars with 't' are more fuel-efficient because the turbocharger intervenes, allowing more complete fuel combustion. For city driving, cars without 't' are more fuel-efficient because it is difficult for vehicles to reach speeds where the turbocharger can intervene in urban conditions.

Why is there a noise when shifting to P gear in an automatic transmission?

There are two situations when abnormal noise occurs while shifting to P gear. The first is when parking on a slope: if you shift to P gear before engaging the handbrake, you may hear a "clunk" sound, which is considered normal. The second situation is when shifting gears while the car is not completely stopped, which can also produce a "clunk" sound and significantly shorten the lifespan of the transmission. The reasons for abnormal noise when shifting to P gear are as follows: 1. Broken or shattered gears; 2. Malfunction of the transmission's internal mechanism; 3. Damaged internal bearings. Precautions when shifting gears include: Do not look down while shifting gears to ensure driving safety; Keep the steering wheel steady with one hand while shifting gears with the other; Avoid violently shaking the gearshift lever back and forth; Ensure the gear and speed are properly matched.

What happens if water gets into the fuel tank?

Water in the fuel tank can cause rust on the cylinder pistons, leading to scoring on the engine cylinder walls and reduced pressure. In severe cases, it may even result in a crankcase explosion. Below is an introduction to fuel consumption-related information: 1. Fuel consumption: Large-displacement vehicles consume as much fuel as family cars. 2. Comparison: A car consuming 6 liters per 100 kilometers, when driven on the same route, a 1.6L Octavia consumes 7 liters. Sports cars typically require much heavier throttle input than street cars, resulting in higher fuel consumption. During aggressive acceleration or high-speed driving, the fuel consumption of a liter-class sports car is comparable to the combined fuel consumption of a 3.0L car. 3. Fuel: Most cars use gasoline, so the energy content of the fuel is the same. The relatively higher fuel consumption of the Octavia comes from its high wind resistance, compact structure leaving little room for fuel-saving technologies, and a design philosophy focused on high-revving power extraction.

What does the A/C light indicate?

The illuminated A/C button light in a car indicates that the air conditioning compressor is activated, while an unlit light means only the car's fan is blowing air. Here is relevant information: 1. Warm air comes from the heat generated by the engine during operation: When the engine's cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, the dissipated heat is directed into the car through the fan, creating warm air. When the warm air is not in use, the fan stops, and the warm air vent closes, allowing all the dissipated heat to be released into the atmosphere. Therefore, the car's warm air system recycles waste heat and does not consume additional fuel. 2. The AC button: The AC button controls the air conditioning compressor. In summer, when using the air conditioner, the AC button must be turned on to activate the cold air function. However, warm air only utilizes the car's internal heat circulation and does not require the air conditioning compressor to be activated. Thus, to use warm air, you only need to adjust the air conditioning settings without turning on the AC switch.
